Joan Allen Joining The Killing
As the head of a military school.
Joan Allen has joined the cast of The Killing for the show's upcoming fourth Netflix-only season, according to TV Guide. She'll be on a "major multi-episode arc" as the stern headmaster at an all-boys military school that's connected to the central murder mystery of the season; her character reportedly "projects a maternal instinct to the troubled young men in her charge," but was also dishonorably discharged from the military. Has Peter Sarsgaard taught us nothing? Don't join the cast of The Killing if you can possibly avoid it.

Washing machines just got cool, thanks to a new model from Bauknecht that tears up the rulebook on how kitchen appliances should look.
Bauknecht, the European brand of Whirlpool, commissioned German designer Arman Emami to come up with something different for its new washing machine. So what did Emami do? He got rid of corners.
So far the washing machine is unnamed, simply being referred to as the "Bauknecht round washing machine" and is only a prototype. However, Bauknecht hopes the appliance, which resembles something akin to a jet engine, gives us a glimpse into what the future holds.
"Although the pragmatic, box-like shape of normal washing machines is logical, it's totally lacking in emotion," Arman Emami said of his design.
It's not often we'd get this excited about an appliance that cleans our dirty laundry, but then our run of the mill washing machine doesn't look like Bauknecht's futuristic design.

Briefing Prepares Capitol Hill Staff for Tax Season
February 27, 2014
To help Capitol Hill staff prepare for the April 15 deadline, the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) offered a tax season briefing on February 19, 2014. During the hour-long session, Melissa Labant, CPA, AICPA director of tax advocacy, and Eileen Sherr, CPA, AICPA senior technical manager - tax advocacy, explained what new information taxpayers need to know for filing 2013 tax returns.
Nearly 30 individuals, representing both Democrat and Republican U.S. House of Representatives and Senate offices, participated in the briefing. The session began by covering the commonly asked questions staff may receive from their constituents and the most common tax return mistakes and how to avoid them. Throughout the session attendees asked questions they have received from their constituents and questions specific to their own tax returns.
Melora Heavey, senior manager – communications and consumer education, provided an overview of the free resources the AICPA offers the public through its financial literacy effort, 360 Degrees of Financial Literacy, and reminded attendees that their state CPA society also offers a variety of tools, events and information for their constituents.
This is the third year the AICPA has offered the free program.

For possibly the first time this season, the Midway Green Wave defense may have bailed out the offense in their 49-15 win over Grace Christian Academy Friday night in the first round of the TSSAA Class A playoffs.
The high powered Grace passing offense had put up some pretty good numbers the past few weeks, but Midway's defense stepped it up a notch by forcing eight sacks and the defensive backs picked off three more passes to choke off much of the Rams momentum.

BlockTile - Interlocking Garage Floor Edges without Loops - Black - 12 Edges and 2 Corners

About this item
There are two types of ramp edges for BLOCKTILE loop-to-peg interlocking floor tiles: "Ramp Edges with Loops" and "Ramp Edges NO Loops." The names refer to the loops on the long side of the ramp edge. Because the tiles are modular in nature, you have the option to select either type of edge for your installation. There is no right or wrong decision. However, depending on how you start your installation and the type of room in which you are installing the interlocking floor tiles, you may want to consider selecting one versus the other.
If you are installing the interlocking floor in a garage, the answer depends on whether you begin the installation at the entrance of the garage or at the back.
Option 1: Installation Starting at the Entrance of Garage - For installations that begin at the garage entrance, the "Ramp Edges with Loops" will be needed. This is because the floor tiles should be oriented so that the loops are pointing toward the back of the garage and the opposite corner from where you are beginning. By orienting the tiles toward the back of the garage and toward the opposite corner from where you are beginning the installation, you assure yourself that you will need ramp edges with loops. The added benefit of aligning the tiles this way is an easier installation. Remember, two sides of the tiles have loops and the other two sides do not.
Option 2: Installation Starting at the Back of Garage - This option is not recommended unless your garage is a small one car garage. For installations that begin at a corner in the back of the garage, the floor tiles should be oriented with the loops pointing toward the garage entrance and the opposite corner from where you are beginning. Hence, you will need the "Ramp Edges with NO Loops."
Option 3: Garage Floor Mat - If you will are creating a mat, you will need both types of ramp edges plus corners. As an example, consider that your garage floor mat will be 20 feet by 22 feet. In this example, you will need 20 + 22 = 42 of one type of ramp edge and an equal amount of the other type of edge. Of course, you will also need 4 ramp corners. When buying the edges, which are sold in boxes of 12 edges and two corners, you would need 4 boxes of each type of ramp edges (you will have some extra edges/corners). Just remember that two adjacent sides of the garage floor mat will have loops and the other two sides will NOT have loops.
BLOCKTILE ramp edges may only be used with BLOCKTILE interlocking floor tiles. They will not interlock with any other brands. Due to differences resulting from various digital devices, please note that colors represented on your monitor may differ slightly from the actual interlocking floor tiles. For questions or concerns regarding this product, please contact the Manufacturer's Customer Service Department at 1.877.595.2040.

DimePiece recently sent out a recap of the launch party and exhibition held last week in LA for their upcoming line The Drug & the Dream. For spring, the ladies took it to a HIGHER level (if you catch my drift), fueled by the idea that escapism, whether achieved naturally or chemically, leads to some of their most inspirational moments. I don't think the collection needs much more explanation than that! I look forward to seeing the full lookbook, but in the meantime, peep some of the images from the launch party. I'm kinda going all "OH SHIT" for the "oh shit" dress.

Before I get properly rolling with this blog, I thought it might be worth taking a moment to stake out the territory I plan to cover.
This website, and these blogs, are all about fandom, and so it might be expected that the art I am posting here will be what goes, these days, under the label "Fan Art". I am not a big fan of that word. Or at least, I am not a fan of indiscriminately applying it to any art that references a fandom – be it in the Science Fiction/Fantasy/Supernatural bracket or not.
There are a variety of things which fall under the scope of this blog. One thing they all have in common: they generally include references to other people's creative work. Be they individual writers, visual artists, film makers, animators, comic artists, engineers, scientists, academic researchers – or the anonymous traditions of folklore or urban myth.
There is Fantasy Art, which is art that represents fantasy characters or settings which have sprung from the authors mind, without making reference to any particular fantasy universe or novel or short story or comic or film or video game or what-have-you. They are generally based on agreed conventions of what a dragon or a fairy, a mermaid or a troll, an enchanted forest or a wizard's dungeon or a unicorn ought to look like: traditional folklore and inherited iconography, or modern conventions that have evolved in the genre, and which may be driven by a particular artist's work: who first gave a dragon bat wings? If they weren't based on these conventions – by repeating, or by deliberately contradicting them – they would not belong in the Fantasy genre.
There is Science Fiction Art, which – apart and sometimes on top of the above – may incorporate visualizations of scientific findings, or engineering features, or be inspired by photographs in a scientific context: astro photography, or microscopic images for instance, which are outside the scope of what the average Science Fiction artist would be able to see with their own eyes, or by their own means.
Much of the art in these genres is inspired by a particular fandom – be it a work of literature, like Lord of the Rings, or a work in an audiovisual medium, like Star Trek or Doctor Who. There is also the whole realm of Manga and Comics, which, as far as this blog is concerned, I am going to largely leave to another blogger – there is, after all, a whole separate category for it on this site!
This is where it can get a little messy when it comes to copyrights and things. And this is where, as far as I am concerned, the Fan Art tag can serve to make a useful distinction: namely, between images which are derivative, and which are likely to infringe a copyright and/or trademark (but are generally tolerated in a non-commercial context), and images which are original visual interpretations, and where there is no such infringement involved.
For all further purposes, I will call images which are clearly based on a design or still from a comic/manga, animation, movie, TV show or game – and which are therefore derivative, and may infringe a copyright, trademark, or other right of authorship (unless they are authorized commercial art): Fan Art – and images which don't, by that old time honoured name: Illustration.
I have had people call some of my pieces Fan Art, simply because they depict a scene from a well known book – such as Ursula Le Guin's "Earthsea" series, which has served me as inspiration for a major series of paintings. The paintings are entirely based on my own visualization and interpretation of the author's writings. They do not depict characters or locations in any way that could be seen as derived from the animation movie, or the (abysmal) TV miniseries which were both based on those books. Neither do they reference another artist's interpretation (of which there are, sadly, conspicuously few, for this particular fantasy universe.)
I am undoubtedly a fan of the Earthsea books, but that does not make my paintings Fan Art, according to the above definition. Because one cannot copyright an idea: copyrights only apply to things "in material form", as the legalese goes. When I translate a scene from a book into a visual medium, I depict my own interpretation of the author's idea. No rights infringed. When I include a passage of text, or a distinctive word such as a character's name, in my painting – then, and only then, am I infringing the author's copyright – and possibly running foul of trademark regulations, too.
It gets more tricky when it comes to works in a visual or audiovisual medium. The design and shape of a comic/manga or animation character has material form, and is moreover often trademark protected: when I incorporate someone else's character in a drawing or painting, it is likely that I will be running foul of both copyright and trademark regulations. It is, of course, always possible to ask permission, or ask (and pay) for a license to use the design. Similarly, if I create a painting or drawing which is recognizably based on a screen shot from a movie, or which shows a particular actor's face, or copies costumes, props or set designs, I will have to ask for permission before I can commercialize the image – and that permission may well be denied.
There are some rather fuzzy and ill-defined grey areas, of course: Creating a painted or sketched portrait of an actor from a screenshot is a creative effort, and a translation into a different artistic medium. The problem in that case may not be copyrights, but the personality rights of the actor, and of course, those pesky trademark regulations. Also, once a text has been translated into film, it can become hard for an artist to visualize specific characters or locations completely independent from the film version: Who does not see Ian McKellen's face, and that iconic pointy hat, when they think of Gandalf the Grey, these days? When does an image simply become part of a new iconographic tradition?
There is a bit of leeway involved in the legislation, anyway: an image which is loosely based on a film interpretation of a book, but includes a "considerable creative effort" on the part of the artist, is not infringing copyrights. Sketching a Gandalf who looks a bit like Ian McKellen, is not the same as literally copying a screen shot. These things will generally have to be assessed on a case-to-case basis. There are no easy answers, and if there is a legal dispute, it will often come down to who can afford the best lawyer: which is why generally, the movie studios win. It still pays, as an artist, to make oneself wise on the do's and don't's: to avoid things which might get one into trouble, just as much as to be able to confidently defend things, when they do not in fact fall foul of any legislation, even though they are associated with some well known franchise.
Lastly, there is commercial Science Fiction and Fantasy art: commissioned illustrations, concept art for movies and games, character designs, environments, storyboards, posters, merchandize … the list goes on. If an artist is commissioned to depict a character or scene based on someone else's design, there is of course no infringement of the copyright and/or trademark holder's rights: but often, there are restrictions with regard to when and where the artist may show and display their own work. Concept art for movies, for instance, may usually not be publicly shown until the movie has been released – if at all.
In the next instalment, I will be looking at some more representations of Tolkien's Lady Galadriel, in order to illustrate the difference I perceive between what is Fan Art, and what is Illustration – and the fuzziness of the grey areas in-between! Stay tuned, and see you next week.

66 thoughts on "Art + Fandom ≠ Fan Art: Definitions"
Astrid, what you are defining in this initial blog posting is one type of "fan art", that being art created by fans that is their take, rendition or characterization based on a work of fiction or characters in a tv series or movie. As Bill Burns noted, the Best Fan Artist Hugo Award has been handed out since 1967, and if you look at the winners since then, not many have based their work on recreations from what could be described as a pop cultural definition of SF and F. There is a lot – and I mean A LOT – of original fan art that is produced strictly for fanzines; for example, if you flip through Robert Lichtman's long-running fanzine TRAP DOOR you will see art by Steve Stiles, Harry Bell, Dan Steffan, and Brad Foster (any many others over the years), none of which bear any resemblance to Star Trek, Star Wars, Eureka, Serenity, Dr. Who, or shows/movies like those. Instead, these people produce artwork for fanzines because they have either been asked to do so or want to do so on their own volition. My fanzine ASKANCE has featured Frank Wu as a cover artist; it was of a dinosaur on stage playing guitar in a rock concert. Nothing science fictional there, but it was a great cover and I am glad Frank sent it to me.
I am afraid you're limiting yourself with the definitions you proposed. There is so much more to "fan art" than you state here. If anything, the term "fan art" is extremely broad – as you note – and it is a creative expression of all sorts of artists. It would be a shame to limit their means of expression. My suggestion is that if anybody reading this is an artist – professional or amateur producing serious, cartoonish, or caricature artwork – they should go to http://www.efanzines.com and spend some time perusing the different fanzines listed there. There is a wealth of variety displayed therein, and it is meant to be enjoyed.

The new family of chairs is aimed at an increasingly demanding target which seeks highly sophisticated aesthetics, as well as the contract market which increasingly calls for managerial seating solutions. Frame soft answers the needs of these situations whilst maintaining its unmistakeably clean lines. The new shaped cushion is made of soft leather or in Kvadrat® fabric and is divided into four parts: two on the seat and two on the backrest. Generous and outstandingly comfortable, the cushions are assembled straight onto the chairs which are entirely covered with leather. It is a further ergonomic improvement which enriches the range available in this iconic collection of contemporary design. The structure is available in the new black chrome version, which keeps the same technical requirements of the standard chrome version and garantees an elegant and sophisticated look of the frame soft collection.

2-year-old hit by car, killed at NC home
Authorities are investigating after a 2-year-old boy was hit by a car and killed in Pender County.
The Highway Patrol says the boy was killed Saturday at around 8:30 p.m. at a private home.
Officials say 28-year-old Stevie Wallace was backing up and struck the child. The toddler was taken to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Authorities are still investigating the situation, but no charges have been filed. Troopers have said there was a large gathering at the home that night and that they didn't know if Wallace and the boy were related.

Reds beat Giants 8-1 in rain-shortened game
Reds beat Giants 8-1 in rain-shortened game
Todd Frazier homered and drove in four runs Monday night, leading the Cincinnati Reds out of their offensive slump to an 8-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants in a game shortened to six innings because of rain.
Frazier had an RBI single and a three-run homer off left-hander Mike Kickham (0-3), who has been hit hard in each of his three major league starts.
Zack Cozart added a sacrifice fly and a run-scoring double as the Reds piled up their most runs since a 12-2 win at Wrigley Field on June 11.
Bronson Arroyo (7-6) gave up a pair of hits in six innings, including Brandon Belt's homer.
Rain halted the game after the sixth. The umpires waited 1 hour, 28 minutes before calling it.

Today I am featuring a recipe for Phyllo Asparagus Spears from Laura's Best Recipes. Interestingly enough, I found her blog by clicking on an ad Laura had placed on Facebook. I like her cooking, which is infused with California style.
This recipe is very easy, although it took me a little bit to figure out how much prosciutto to put with the asparagus. Mine had a tad too much at first (you can see in my picture up top that there's too much meat in the first roll but in the picture below, it's just right), making some of the spears a little salty. Once I learned to be more judicious in the use of the prosciutto, the rest were fine.
I brought them to my friends Jessica's and Peter's house as an appetizer before dinner, and they went great with the cheese tray. In particular, the Boursin cheese complemented the asparagus so well, that I will add the Boursin to the recipe next time.
These can be served warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Laura's Best Recipes Phyllo Asparagus Spears
24 asparagus spears, wood ends trimmed
6 sheets frozen phyllo, thawed
3-4 tablespoons melted butter (and/or Pam cooking spray)
12 thin slices prosciutto (about 6 ounces), cut in half crosswise
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or more)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Steam asparagus in a steamer basket set over 1-inch of boiling water just until bright green, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander to cool. Place 1 sheet of phyllo on a work surface (cover the remaining phyllo with a damp clean towel). Brush lightly with butter. Cut into 4 rectangular pieces. Cut the asparagus spears down to 4 inch lengths.
Place 1 piece of prosciutto on each phyllo rectangle, lining up along 1 short edge. Arrange an asparagus spear over the prosciutto, letting the tip lay beyond the top edge of the phyllo. Sprinkle with Parmesan (I like it more than most). Roll up and secure the edge of the phyllo with butter, if necessary. When rolling, leave the asparagus tip unwrapped about one inch. Wrap foil around the exposed asparagus tip so it doesn't burn. Arrange on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Bake until phyllo is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Ninette's Notes:
1)I steamed the asparagus just one minute, which was enough, because I didn't want them to overcook in the oven. Next time, I think I will skip this step, turn the oven down to 375 degrees and let them just cook in the oven.
2) I used Pam to spray the phyllo initially and then I brushed them with a garlic-infused butter before I put them in the oven. To make the butter, I put one smashed garlic clove with the butter and I melted the butter in the microwave with the garlic in it.
Instead of cutting the asparagus into 4 inch pieces, I wrapped the whole spear with the parmesan, prosciutto and phyllo. After the asparagus were cooked and had cooled down a little, I cut the spears in half as shown in the picture.
3) Laura uses 1 piece of phyllo and cuts it into four pieces. I used one piece of phyllo and cut it in 2 pieces. I sprayed the phyllo with Pam, sprinkled it with Parmesan cheese and folded it over, and then I cut the folded piece in half and used the two halves to wrap two asparagus spears.
4) I didn't cover the asparagus tips with foil, and they didn't burn in my oven.

Categories Comments Campus Safety
I feel very safe on the Charleston Campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The Charleston campus is in the same area as Eastern Illinois University. They have many fun events and allow students to still have a college experience.
What to do for fun
I am attending the Charleston campus of Lakeview College of Nursing. The Eastern Illinois University is in the same town, therefore, you can attend their sporting events and other university associated events.
Food and Dining
There are a variety of places to eat where the school is located. I am going to the Charleston campus, and it is small so you do not have to travel far to find something to eat. Everything is really close together.
Academic Rigor
I am enrolled at Lakeview College of Nursing, however, I have never attended a classroom setting. My experiences with the school have not given me any trouble, and I am really exciting to begin my career there.
Tips for prospective students
I think that every student should definately visit the campus. To be a student one must become educated on the school, their mission, costs, and their style of teaching.
In three sentences
I am taking an online class through Lakeview College of Nursing, and I really like it. I have not actually been in classroom settings, however, I have seen the campus. I think it provides adequate space and lab settings suited for the education of nursing.

it's important to form study groups. you spend so much time with your classmates anyway that we get together and study together-that is really all there is to do for fun.

Interested in Nursing (RN) and have all your pre-reqs completed. The staff is quite nice and easy to talk to. It is also a small school everything is in the one building. Except if you choose to attend at the EIU campus but you will pay a lot more to use Eastern;s facilities.

Make sure you know all the details with billing and housing before deciding to go here.

SANFORD, FLORIDA -- Before explaining how the ink and toner cartridge recycling program is a scam, I need to share a terrible customer service experience with OfficeMax: I had been a casual shopper at OfficeMax for over a decade, and a few years ago I decided to join the MaxPerks rewards program so that I can take advantage of the fact that I have many empty toner cartridges from the company I work for. The ink/toner recycling program set up by OfficeMax allowed you to bring in up to 10 cartridges per week, and you would get $3.00 in store credit for each cartridge.
Doing this, I was able to earn between $60.00 and $120.00 in store credit per month, depending on the number of cartridges I had to bring in. I chose to spend $120 of it on office furniture, some supplies, and other small things. I used another $250 on a new HP printer/scanner. I continued saving my rewards, and in December of 2009 I decided to use them to buy a new desktop computer, valued at $700.
I printed each month's statement (which was what you needed to do to have something to give to the clerk showing your reward member number and that month's card number for entry as store credit). I walked into the store with about 8 of these sheets of paper, walked to the computer, took my computer to the register and had the clerk ring it up.
The young lady at the counter was being watched by the assistant manager, and he seemed to notice I was carrying a handful of MaxPerks Rewards statements to use with this big ticket item. He took over the register and said, in a very fake-cheerful voice, "And are you going to be using cash, or credit to pay for this today?", very obviously making it clear he was excluding other forms of payment, such as what I held in my hand. I placed the papers on the counter and said "Neither; I'll be paying with my store credit from my MaxPerks account."
He immediately shook his head and spoke in a condescending voice, saying "You can't pay for this with those rewards." I asked why I couldn't, as a prior phone conversation with a member of the MaxPerks customer service confirmed that I would be able to use them on ANY item in the store, as it literally is store credit with a one-year expiration. He insisted that I can use it for only smaller items (he did not define what price was considered the maximum for a "small" item). I asked to speak to his manager, who I was sure would calmly put this guy in his place and apologize for the confusion, and finish the transaction so I could be on my way.
I was wrong. The store manager (**) began with a demeaning tone of voice, hostile look and defensive body language. He told me that I could not use my rewards for a computer. I asked why I couldn't, and he never gave me a direct answer -- only stated that "Regional wouldn't allow it," and that they had discussed this very issue at a recent meeting.
I reminded him that the OfficeMax website clearly states that I can use my MaxPerks rewards on any item in the store, same as store credit, and can use any number of months' rewards together on the same purchase as long as they have not gone over their 1-year expiry date. He said I must not have read it right. I told him that I had spoken to a member of the MaxPerks customer service earlier who had confirmed I would not have any problems using my rewards to buy a new $700 computer from the store, and he said she must have misunderstood me.
** proceeded to get louder and verbally abusive after I told him that it would be ethically and legally wrong for a company to promise one thing and then have a store manager deny the customer this promise. He said "You're not a 'CUSTOMER'! All I ever see you in here for is to bring us empty toner cartridges! You never buy anything... you're not a customer!" His voice was not quite a shout, but definitely a yell -- everyone in the store who was within eyesight was watching, customers and employees alike.
I then reminded him in a calm voice that I was just in last week to buy DVD cases and the week before to buy envelopes and bubble-wrap, and that he himself has manned the register on several of my recent purchases. I told him I will get on the cell phone with the MaxPerks customer service so that they could speak to him. ** said "Fine! You do that!", apparently confident that he was genuinely correct.
As I was on the phone with a woman in customer service, the assistant manager got on the store phone and was hunched over it, making furtive glances back at me, presumably speaking to someone within OfficeMax upper-management regarding the situation. ** had gone back to stocking shelves.
The customer service woman pulled up my information and confirmed that I was indeed right and should be able to use all of my rewards that day and go home with a new $700 computer. She implied, but did not say, that possibly the manager did not want to lose a big ticket item on the store's books to a store credit purchase as it would not reflect as positively as if it was bought with cash or credit card.
She was willing to speak with **, so I approached him and he stood up and said "So, did you get that all straightened out?", as if he seriously thought I had just been corrected by customer service. I told him "Yes, and she wants to speak to you to tell you what she told me."
He then spoke to her briefly, handed back the phone, and said she was misinformed and he will still not do it. She told me that the only thing she could do at this point was to send an email to the Regional Director (who the manager had said would agree strongly with him). All I could do at this point was thank her. She said he would likely get back to me on Monday or Tuesday, as it was Saturday and he was not in the office.
I told ** that I will be back on Monday or Tuesday, whenever the Regional Manager called me to tell me I was legit and that he (**) was incorrect. The manager laughed me off. I went home without the computer, and roughly 1 hour later, I got a phone call from the Regional Manager. He told me he was aware of the entire situation and apologized for the confusion, and that I could head back to the store and use my store credit as I had planned. I told him that I would like the store manager to apologize, as he was the one who offended me, not the Regional Manager, but when I got there 15 minutes later, the employees said he left for the day.
I asked to speak to the same assistant manager who was rude to me, but the girl at the counter said he was elsewhere in the store, but didn't know where. I paid for my computer with the rewards cards I had saved, and as I walked out of the store, I saw the assistant manager come out of the back room directly behind where the clerk stood. I waved and smiled, and he just looked at me with undisguised anger. Nice. I used my left over rewards on a new digital camera, and now that they have changed their program rules for recycling empty cartridges, and after seeing that ** is still employed there, I will never bring my empties there OR shop there, ever again.
The same program I used has been changed drastically starting in 2010, probably because people like myself were using the program to its full potential, and the marketing people may not have foreseen this as a possibility. They handed out small fliers at the register to let people know of the change. The flier itself is a copy of the info about the change found on the website at the time. I'm a writer, and can tell you that the wording was intentionally made extremely vague and confusing, enough so that even the customer service representative I spoke to couldn't explain the changes to me.
After the first month, however, I looked at my statement in February to see what the changes meant. Basically, the rewards last only 90 days now, not a year. That's not a big deal. But apparently you need to spend actual money on items in the store and show your Rewards Card to have it applied, and an equal amount will then become available out of the store credit amount you earn with returning empty cartridges.
I had brought them 40 cartridges in January, which should have given me $120 in store credit for that month. But because I only spent 30-some bucks on items using cash, only $36 of my $120 appears to be usable, and yet even still I cannot get the website to allow me to print a statement for me to use even that small amount.
Bottom line: OfficeMax is not doing the recycling program to help the environment, or to offer rewards to customers, or anything other than to profit. Each of their empty cartridges are sent to a warehouse where they can then send them in bulk to companies that refill these toner cartridges with generic toner (a common practice, as generic toner is much cheaper). Those companies can pay anywhere from $4 to $15 for each of these empties because they can sell a refilled cartridge for anywhere from $10 to $200. So there is indeed a profit to be made by OfficeMax -- they just don't want to share it with the customers anymore.
I am taking my empties -- and my business -- elsewhere. Staples only allows 10 returned cartridges per month, but they give you $3 each in store credit that you can actually spend without having to worry about buying crap with cash to "open up" an equal amount of those saved rewards.
The Sanford store sucks, and the only thing I found pleasant about it was one great employee named ** who was always kind and friendly -- she rocks. The other employees are either apathetic, tired, bored, uninformed, rude, or like the assistant manager and store manager, extremely unfit for any type of employment dealing with other humans. I'd recommend going to CompUSA for your office supply needs, and especially for computers. Best prices, awesome sales, and friendly, informed staff.
GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN -- Your new MaxPerks program is not representative of the quality administration of your business that I have experienced in the past. I think that the MaxPerks program will alienate your customers and send them to your competitors if not changed.
My first experience with the program was a surprise. I called the store that I usually go to and asked if they still take empty ink cartridges in exchange for printer paper. I was told that they did, with a limit of ten empty cartridges. I drove several miles to the store and was told that I would be given a credit that would be added to a MaxPerks account that I needed to apply for. I was told that as soon as the account was activated I could apply the credit to a purchase. I was told that something would be sent to me in the mail to confirm my acceptance by the MaxPerks program.
About a month later, after not getting anything from OfficeMax confirming the credit, I went online and found, after calling MaxPerks customer service, that my account was active and that I indeed have a credit. So today I drove to the same store to finally apply my credit to a purchase of printer paper. At the checkout counter I was told that the store couldn't confirm my credit by my presenting the MaxPerks plastic card. I was told that I must go back online and print out a voucher showing the credit.
After expressing some frustration, I was directed to the back of the store where a clerk went online for me and was not able to get the needed credit voucher. After several tries and getting help from another clerk, the clerk called the OfficeMax Central Customer Service Department. This person got my permission for the clerk to go on my account to get the voucher for my purchase.
After several minutes of trying, and talking to the OfficeMax central customer service person, I was told that the credit on my account, applied nearly a month ago could not be spent until tomorrow! Also, the credit that was applied today could not be spent for another month. I would never have believed that a corporation as large and experienced as OfficeMax would have such a poor system.
MANITOWOC, WISCONSIN -- Our weekly flier for Office Max said, "buy $50.00 or more and receive 25% off of the total sale in MaxPerks Dollars (Rewards)." When I received my monthly rewards, the 25% rewards was NOT on there. I contacted OfficeMax Reward department with my complaint and they emailed this long list of rules back as to why I was denied the 25%. I had to read the rules twice to discover what part of the rules applied to my buy. It's not very plain, but it seems only the amount of sale in new dollars qualifies for the 25% back in max dollars. The list of rules is endless.
I buy at other retailers with rewards in my area and they don't have such a complex set of rules that it takes a lawyer to understand!! Now this is total DISCRIMINATION to treat the reward money as some kind of fake money. I can take the max rewards and buy $50.00 or more in qualifying products and use one of Office Max's coupons $10.00 off on a $50.00 or more purchase and $10.00 will be taken off of my bill. This works because the discount is given at the cash register and not by Office Max Rewards center that is trying in every way possible to rip the customer off. It is time for a CLASS ACTION Lawsuit for discrimination.
MaxPerks looks good on the outside, but OfficeMax makes it so difficult to use that I'm sure plenty of people get disgusted and never use their "perks". For example, if you turn in used printer cartridges, you get $3 credited to your MaxPerks for each cartridge. But that credit is not automatically loaded to your MaxPerks card. To use it, you have to set up a Max Perks online account and then print out a coupon from that site with your credit on it. Then you take the coupon to the store to use it. If you don't use the entire amount, you have to print out another coupon the next time you want to use it.
So you have to make one trip to the store to turn in your cartridges and another one to use the credit. I found employees at the store - I went to in Columbus, Ohio, very rude and condescending about this program when I asked about it. They looked up my account, but could not tell me how much credit I had or give me the credit I already had accrued previously. I suggest going to another store for office needs. I know I will.
Hi, I am so upset right now that I will never shop at OfficeMax again. I am a small home office so when I saw that they had a promotion to get MaxPerks back when purchasing certain items I ordered enough to get $160.00 back in MaxPerks awards. On the first 2 calls of me explaining they said they would credit my account. When it did not happen, on the third call she told me I had not entered my account number. I explained that I had logged on with my password before I ordered and they had my max number associated with my account.
She agreed they had it, but again said she was sorry that I had to actually enter my max number again to get the perks and that there is no way to go back now. She said sorry that it was clear in the terms and conditions. Who reads the fine print??? I told them if they really wanted to honor their promotion they would have placed that information clearly on the 'check out' page.
Also I went to their terms and conditions and it is pages and pages of fine print and I still could not find that information. I told them they intentionally hid that important fact in there so they would not have to give me my $160.00. I asked for a supervisor and was given another representative. The second time I asked for her boss and was given a "mentor." She was very rude and kept saying I should have read the fine print. MAXPERKS is a scam!!
ANY -- I was in an OfficeMax and asked about the recycle program and was told they gave three dollars for empty cartridges returned to them. And you needed to sign up for the card and your money would be placed on the card within 48 business hours. So I drove back to the local store that is 20 miles away from my house and gave them 11 cartridges and was told again the money would be on my account 48 hrs. later. Three days later I called customer service and was told it would be in that night. Well after another two days called again and was told 30 days it would be there.
And the worst thing is that I needed to buy $33.00 of items before my credit would be placed on my card. I was never told that by any of the store personnel nor the first service representative I called three days earlier. This program is a scam and is false. They tell you one thing then they do something completely different.
So what they did is take your cartridge and then make you spend money before they give you the money back that you spent. So they get free cartridges to sell to someone else for their refill program. So then you try to call the corp. phone # and it is all automated and no real person answers that phone. The corp. # is 630-438-7800. Is this how they run the recycle program. Get free cartridges from customers under this program.
OfficeMax Perks is a Scam. Purchased a printer for $300 at OfficeMax and clerk signed me up for OfficeMax Perks. Received the plastic card with barcode and was told I had received a $50 reward for in-store credit. Went back after a few months to purchase new ink cartridges with my Perks card and was told I would have to log in. The store doesn't keep track of the "Rewards."
Went back home and logged - saw my original purchase and the $50 "Reward." Printed it out and went back to the store. Said they couldn't honor it, because I waited too long and didn't really have any "Rewards." Told the clerk I didn't (and still don't) see any expiration date. Gave me an 866 number to call. What a bunch of baloney. Logged on to Amazon.com and found the ink cartridges for 40% less than OfficeMax. Do yourself a favor and shop online.
BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA -- I received a $70 MaxPerks coupon for Quickbooks Pro which is now $99 after $100 off in the circulars. My complaints are twofold: 1. **, the clerk at the register, scanned the software at $129.99 instead of $99.00. Why were her register not updated? The promotion started on Sunday. Today is Monday. There's clearly something amiss here. 2. ** did not accept the MaxPerks coupon saying it cannot be combined with promotional products despite the fact that the coupon says otherwise. She is clearly wrong. Her supervisor (Filipino) agreed with her which was the wrong.
This is an obvious example of poor training, and not accepting the coupon even though it was a legitimate original (not reproduced) coupon that conformed to the terms of its usage. This is a flagrant and outrageous violation of its own promotional policies. After spending thousands with OfficeMax even though it is somewhat less convenient and far away, I will stop shopping there. The store tolerates ignorance, poor training, and lack of ethics and responsibility. It is no wonder that when I try to click on your code of ethics on your website, I receive a "page not found" error. OfficeMax doesn't have a valid code of ethics.
The MaxPerks recycling program is not what I thought it would be. I turned in a total of 20 cartridges. They said they give me $3.00 each in rewards. I now need to do business with them and I checked on the reward status and it says it is "Pending" because I haven't spent $50 or more at OfficeMax the past month. So they are saying in order for me to get my reward dollars, I have to spend $50 or more, BUT what I need does not equal $50 and so I just LOST my rewards from my ink cartridges... At least when they gave paper reams, I could spend $20 and give them an ink cartridge and walk out with my purchase plus paper...
NOW I have to spend more money to hopefully see some reward at all. I previously understood that after I turned in my cartridges, they would give me $60 rewards and I could use them for discounts on purchases no matter what the cost. They need to clarify things up front or train their employees so they can explain them better... or better yet... just give me 20 reams of paper.
KAHULUI, HAWAII -- Lost $90.00 worth of "MaxPerks Rewards"!!! I think that's a lot! They said they couldn't do anything about it, (Too bad for me!!!). I went in THREE different times with TEN cartridges, equaling $30.00 each visit. Of course, after a long time, I inquired where my Perks were! "We don't have any record of you turning in the cartridges," even though I had the receipt to prove it! (Too bad for ME!!!) Suck it up customer, too BAD!

Mirko and his team did a great job on our window trim repair project. Fast, friendly and very affordable.

Cres Builders and Mirko were recommenced to us when it came time to upgrade our master bath. Mirko came to our home and not only quoted a fair price for the job, but also gave us insight into additions to our project, that would not increase the cost substantially, but would improve the overall look. The project was on schedule and the results perfect... We look forward to working with Cres Builders and Mirko on other projects.
Posted: 5/13/2014 • Link to this review
Mirko is by far the best builder I have ever dealt with. I put my project our to bid and he came in with the best price for over and above the scope of work. He will answer all your questions and take the time to make you feel comfortable. Last, but certainly not least, he is as honest as the day is long. There is no doubt in my mind who I will call when I need a project done!
Posted: 3/27/2014 • Link to this review
Our house has been transformed! I contacted Mirko to give an estimate on a kitchen remodel. The estimate was detailed, providing all the information I needed. In addition, he gave a day by day schedule. His attention to detail was very helpful being this was my first time having a remodel. The entire crew was terrific, to make sure this became the kitchen I wanted. In addition, I also had Mirko redo our hardwood floors, as well as replace the carpet and then stained the entire floor. We also had the spindles replaced to wrought iron and stained the railing on the stairway. His crew is amazing. They cleaned up every time before they left and tried to make sure we were happy. They were times I didn't even notice we were living thru a remodeling. Overall, with three projects going, everything worked out beautifully. The deadline was met and we were within the budget. Mirko has a one of a kind personality. Friendly... Honest.... Trustworthy... I believe he treats every job like it was being done at his own home. His attention to every detail made this a very easy process. He really enjoys what he does and it shows. I'm looking forward to the next project.

We hired CRES Home Remodel to renovate our kitchen as well as to get some painting & electrical work done in the common areas of our home. Mirko has helped us with previous smaller projects. As soon as we said yes to CRES for our kitchen rejuvenation , Mirko gave us a detailed list of things we needed to buy/make a decision on prior to any work being done. Much like getting all of your ingredients ready before you start to cook. For our big project, we also received a detailed description of the work to be done as well as a daily schedule of when each crew would be in our home. Each time a new crew for a specific job came in I was introduced to them (or they introduced themselves). All very respectful. There were little "hiccups" in the project - I changed the microwave placement & we added cabinet "skin" rather than paint on the island. Also, there was a small patch of floor (2" x3") that needed to be put in because of the slight difference between the old cabinetry & the new cabinetry. Mirko handled all of these issues calmly and efficiently with the appropriate team. You would NEVER know there was a floor patch. The cabinet team leader , Darius was extremely creative in helping us find more space for storage despite moving the microwave to the cabinet above our coffee area. We will definitely work with Mirko and his team again!

I worked with Mirko on a 6 bed 5.5 bath investment property in Deerfield/Dunwoody area. The scope of the project included a brand new kitchen (cabinets, appliances, floors, exterior refinishing and painting, minor updating of basement bathroom, landscaping, master bathroom partial updating, opening up the family room/kitchen, garage finishing and other small things around the house. Total cost went over my initial budget by about 10-15% but I expected that in a large project like this on an older house. I also added in additional work; door knobs and hinge change, garage and lighting needs so that explained much of the increase, on top of electrical work that need to be done to code since the previous owner did a lot of DIY work and cut a lot of corners. Mirko was very aware of the budget and always thought on the clients perspective, figuring out way to lower cost without compromising on quality and esthetics. Loved that is Mirko prides himself on quality work and never cutting corners. Mirko was a true partner and there was an incredible amount of trust he built in such a short time. HIs professionalism, experience and network truly makes him a step above the rest.

This was our first project using Mirko and his crew. We had 21 windows replaced and we are absolutely thrilled with the fit, finish, courtesy and timeliness of his crew and their work. We have several other projects to do around our house and we look forward to working with him again soon.

I've used C.R.E.S. for several projects on my home and have been completely satisfied every time.So far, Mirko has installed my gutters, installed a gutter guard system, and insulated my attic. Mirko is one of the most honest and hard working contractors I have had the pleasure of working with. I will definitely use his company again for my future projects.

We used C.R.E.S. last month to help us with a leak around the fireplace chimney, repair and paint all trim wood around the house. They provided a very detailed assessment on the repairs, kept us informed of options and did a great job on the whole project. If you are looking for a company that will treat you with integrity and respect while doing a high quality work, don't hesitate to call them. I did a lot of research and got estimates from several contractors. Glad we decided to work with Mirko and his team at C.R.E.S.

My wife and I've done two major projects with Mirko: exterior of house painted; complete new roof. We're thrilled with both projects and the exceptionally good work that was done both times and at a fair price. It's a real pleasure to work with Mirko and C.R.E.S.

There's no question: CRES is the best in town. Mirko is friendly, helpful and most-of-all, honest. He comes with a wealth of knowledge and a team of skilled, hardworking individuals. CRES redid our kitchen floor & backsplash, repaired our laundry room, painted our sitting room and installed a custom door for our attic storage space. They were on time, affordable and friendly. Mirko's offered an unbiased, professional opinion on everything from paint and grout color to future projects and renovations. We could not be more pleased with the result and are so happy that we found CRES after our mini, in-home disaster. Thank you for completing the job quickly and to our high standards. We gladly recommend CRES for any home project.

CRES gave us exactly what they promised. Most of all they gave us no surprises. On budget, on time, great service, great follow-up. I highly recommend them.

When our roof was damaged by a storm, C.R.E.S. worked directly with our insurance company to get the entire roof replaced without cost to us. The day that the roof was replaced, the weather forecast called for rain, so 2 roofing teams were brought in to complete the job in a single day. Imagine my surprise when I got home from work and the job was already finished. The quality of the workmanship was very good, and the roof looks great. All of the debris was picked up so that we did not have any cleanup work to do afterwords. I would highly recommend C.R.E.S for home renovations.

Hello Don, thank you for taking the time to post your review about us. We enjoyed working with you both. Please let me know when you are ready to paint the inside of your home. We would be pleased to perfrom that scope of work well also. Thank you, Mirko
It was a pleasure dealing with Mr. Attolini to replace my roof. His crew was efficient and provided quality workmanship. The only recommendation I would have is that during cleanup, a closer inpection for nails in gutters and downspouts be made. I have flex hoses connected to my downspouts that direct water to my driveway and nails evntually washed out after heavy rains. Otherwise, I was very pleased with the final product.

Hello Gene, I apologize for you having to pick up some nails. We use blowers along with magnetic nail collectors to asure that we pick up all 12,000 nails. Sometimes, some nails get caught in the elbows. Thank you for recommending me to your neighbors and recently to your fiend who needs his wondows and siding replaced. Thank you for taking the time to recommend my services. Let me know when you are ready to move forward with your basement remodel.

The Age Discrimination Act 2004 was amended in May 2011to create an office for an Age Discrimination Commissioner within the Australian Human Rights Commission.
This is the first time such a position has been created at the federal level, and represents a positive step forward in ensuring that age discrimination is on an equal footing with other areas of discrimination.
The government has appointed the Hon Susan Ryan AO as the Age Discrimination Commissioner. Ms Ryan started with the Commission on 8 August 2011.
The Age Discrimination Commissioner is responsible for raising awareness of age discrimination, educating the community about the impact of age discrimination and monitoring and advocating for the elimination of age discrimination across all areas of public life.

Placido Polanco and the Third Base Situation
Last updated: 10/13, 12:30 p.m.
- Charlie Manuel ponders an upgrade at the hot corner: source.
Paul's Take: Third base for the Phillies is something like the goaltender position for the Flyers. Back in the day, there was a stalwart at the position, but recent years have found little stability or above-average production. Placido Polanco, signed before the 2010 season, has been hurt and producing offense more typically found in middle infield positions. As Aaron Gleeman mentions over at Hardball Talk, Polanco's .702 OPS is 20th among third basemen since the start of 2010. Polly is owed $6.25M in 2012, and he'll almost assuredly remain the starter when healthy.
What might behoove Amaro would be a search for a quality backup. The Phils missed out on acquiring guys like Wilson Betemit who, while not a superstar, did provide the Tigers with 15 extra-base hits in 40 games after being acquired. Polanco had 19 extra-base hits all season.
Ryan's Take: The Phillies have a lot on their shopping list right now, including some pieces that probably take a higher priority than a position where there is already an established starter. To his credit, Polanco provided excellent defense even while playing hurt in 2011. But, facing possible offensive regression by Hunter Pence and Shane Victorino, and with Ryan Howard's 2012 effectiveness in serious doubt, that might not be enough on it's own. Normally I would accept him retaining the full-time job as a foregone conclusion, but to hear a manager as fiercely loyal as Charlie Manuel even mentioning an "upgrade" makes me wonder if falling short of the NLCS this season may have put him in a more pragmatic state of mind. Considering that Polanco posted a .364 wOBA last year against left-handed pitching, compared to just .281 against right-handers, might a platoon be in order?
